The Rest Are Missing is finally on Youtube. I am so happy to share this film with the world.

At its core, The Rest Are Missing is a film about surviving against the odds, and escaping from unknown evils that seek to imprison. Feeling alone is an universal emotion. Sometimes, even when we are in a room full of people, we feel isolated. This film seeks to articulate that feeling in a visceral way.

The film is very minimal. The high desert landscape is allowed to shine in its full glory, and the music perfectly sets the tone for the story.

Leading man Brian Young is a shining star and he brings such passionate honesty to the role.

This piece turned out amazing. It has a super high gloss which gives the piece a lot of movement. This was my first time using this technique and I am really happy with how simple it was and how much of an impact it makes. I am going to take this project much further in the future, but for now, enjoy these pictures.

This piece is for sale for $100.00 (unframed)/180.00 (framed). I will also custom make a piece like this with your choice of colors for a negotiated price.

Like many filmmakers, I have some side interests. I love things that are colorful and expressive and I love to make things with my hands.

I am currently working on a mixed media type painting/craft project. I took a box of 120 crayons and I have started the process of melting them on a piece of black canvas.

No, I am not the first person in the world to think of this idea, but I think I have something that might turn out really cool. Below are a few images I took of the project.

Once it is complete I will upload commercially lit images of it so you can get the full effect.

Sometimes when I find myself feeling uninspired or in a creative rut, I try to go outside of my comfort zone and try something new, even if I don't have a camera in my hand. Right now, I don't always have the time or the resources to make my many film ideas come to life, but I still find different ways to express myself. I feel very empty when I am not working on some type of creative project. So when I began working on this little piece I thought it might be a good way to get my creative juices flowing. Keep following for updates on this project and many more to come.
